Sixteen-year-old Miles' first year at Culver Creek Preparatory School in Alabama includes good friends and great pranks, but is defined by the search for answers about life and death after a fatal car crash.

"Cansado de su aburrida existencia, Miles, de 16 años, se muda a un colegio internado para ir en busca de lo que el poeta Rabelais llamó 'Gran quizá.' Ahí su recién descubierta libertad y una enigmática chica, Alaska, lo lanzan de lleno a la vida. Cuando Miles siente que está por alcanzar su objectivo, una tragedia inesperada amenaza con arrebatárselo"--P. [4] of cover.

reviewed Looking for Alaska by John Green

How will I ever get out of this labyrinth

Having read John Green's books in a rather haphazard order I've gotten used to his way of ending stories with hope sans joy, but Looking For Alaska was too much of an emotional gut punch. If this was his first book, I'm not even slightly surprised he's had the successful career he's had since. It's just beautiful.
